The Millionairess

A familiar topic, the love/hate romance, is portrayed as an at times wacky comedy and at times an intense star-crossed romantic drama. Although the concept of romantic comedy has been done well many times, this is not one of them.

There are countless examples of movies that can't decide what they want to be, and, as other users have pointed out, this is one of them. It's personality is split three ways - a comedy, a romance, and a social commentary sermon.

All the negative reviews make simply no sense to me. Surely, this is not a great film or a masterpiece, but it is interesting and exciting to follow the unfolding of the events.

Yes it could have been a better movie,but not by much. Other reviews of this movie that I've read appraise and evaluate it based more on conventional movie genre criteria.

The writers must have thought the name Epiphania to be screamingly funny, which is why it is uttered so often in the first 5 minutes. But instead of having me roll over with laughter this achieved the opposite: every mention of the name annoyed me more than the previous.

How far things have changed in humanity's sensibilities since the swinging sixties... Absolutely and totally incorrect on so many woke levels....

Sophia Loren plays the only daughter of a wealthy Italian tycoon in London who dies and leaves his fortune to her; she's indifferent to the money and only wants love, but all her suitors are duds. Enter Peter Sellers as a doctor from India who treats the poor; he could use Sophia's money, but he's indifferent to her!

The story has it all--love, money, sex, politics, religion, social ethics...however the cheesy editing and Loren's cartoonish performance distract from what could have been a really good movie.

Sophia Loren is "The Millionairess" in this 1960 film also starring Peter Sellars, with director Vittorio de Sica playing a small role. The film is adapted from a play by George Bernard Shaw.
